Earthquake detection / warning system using smartphones Introduced in Greece and NZ
グーグルは去年８月、カリフォルニア州で州の観測網を活用した地震警報を始め、今年後半には「加速度センサー」を活用した検知・警報システムの運用も始める予定です
Google started earthquake warnings in California last August using the state’s observation network, and plans to start operating a detection / warning system using ”accelerometers” later this year.
The ”accelerometer” that captures movement and vibration is said to be sensitive enough to detect the preliminary tremors of an earthquake, so that information on small vibrations can be collected on a server to grasp the earthquake and notify android users before a large shaking. Trying to
Since countless smartphones will become like seismographs, it is expected to be applied to areas without observation networks and warning systems, and Google announced the introduction to Greece and New Zealand on the 28th.
Google says the two countries will be the first countries to use both smartphone-based earthquake detection and warning functions.
